Well, iam looking to get a pylon. I dont have the funds to get a tower installed. So i found this pylon company that uses a "no holes drilled" type of installation. And i was wondering if anyone has used one of these? They have a reccomended wieght limit of 250lb and iam 245......The guy called me and said i shouldnt have a problem, unless i get really aggressive with it and i will pull the boat over?

Then i would make one. I made mine with steel pipe. I drilled it and installed eye hooks much the same way that is shown on the insanity website. i then used plastic covered cable attached to carribeaners sp? and on the 2 rear cables i attached ratcheting tiedowns. The pylon had a pylon base which just sat on the floor. One layer of the base was a 1/2 peice of plywood. then i cut a hole in the other peice of plywood so the pylon would fit snug inside. I then screwed the two pieces together. I attached the support cables to the 4 cleats on our boat. And for a final touch i got a pipe cap that threaded onto the pipe that i used for the pylon. I drilled the top portion of the cap and installed a ball hitch.

It took me an afternoon to make and the cool part was that i could use it on my buddies boat as well. In fact i landed my first invert on my buddies boat with it. My brother and i also rode doubles with it so i know it was pretty strong. I was able to do it without having to drill or make any modifications to the boat at all. email me if you have any questions. I would hate for you to spend $500 plus on a product you could make for a fraction of the cost.

Ask around, I know people that have pylons setting around from back in the day. I gave mine away two years ago just to get rid of it. Lot's of people with newer boats, or people who have upgraded to towers still have the pylons sitting in the garage
